    OK FOLKS. From a text thread I’m on, a Big Dick Cigar just threw us a bone and said ā€œI’ll be shocked if Herman isn’t on our sidelines next year.ā€

    What metric shows we are "better off" under the non-ideology of the Trump One-Term Regime? They all look negative to me. He didn't solve what ailed us in 2016. His cult made it worse.Ā 

    • Ā  Reveal hidden contents

      Ā 

      • We had nihilism under Trump - with no one in power able to shake off the rust and actually . . . govern in accordance with any known American ideology. That was not political science.He could not stopĀ Congress from acting. They just didn't govern as a governing body. They refused the ball. That has to change. That inaction is a red flag of a failing government.Ā 
      • But the question is no longer - shall we govern? That went down to a rousing defeat under Trump. We know nowĀ Americans benefit from social infrastructure. That's hardly surprising, since larger status organizations recognize the efficiency gains of treating employees as assets. Thanks capitalism for the pointers on how to make constituents more optimistic. We are on the precipice of good governance acquiring a genuine meaning - thanks to AI. Best to come up with lists so we can measure the effects. Science for a better living.
      • The question has become - how shall we govern. We took a vacation from ideology under Trump - very libertarian of him and look who got richer.
      • Follow the money - always. Our neoliberal economic system is getting its ass kicked - holistically - when considering the near future. We need to adapt to inflate. We inflate or dieĀ as an economy. Econ 101.
      • What do weĀ need to do to catch up to the rest of the modern world to compete? Where are all the social gains paid for by efficiency cuts?Ā 
      • We continue to be laggards as a nation. We have sector gains but the nation's economy as a whole is stripped down to the copper - and that goes next.Ā

    I agree and misunderstood your point. I thought you were asserting it was better under the drump regime.

    If you are a billionaire - correct. It means more of this:

    The disconnect between productivity and wages is the hallmark and goal of neoliberalism. More of the same begets more of the same economic suicide. Nice job liberals.

    More importantly, how was brunch?

    Show the graph from 2014 to 2020. Then explain how we are better off now. Don't forget to include the results from theĀ  "china flu" inaction. ThanksĀ

    Anyone tried using a pressure washer to remove the stringy barkĀ off of cedar poles before putting them up? Ā I saw a thread on a forum where a guy built a big deck surround his home and use cedar polesĀ he hadĀ stripped with a pressure washer. Ā He hit the softwood with a sealer/stain and they looked pretty good.Ā 

    I did this to build a fence. You need cedar that has been sitting for close to a year for it to be easy. If it is fresh you will mess up the wood trying to get the bark off. Either way, it will take some work. I think I strippedĀ 12 - 10' long logs inĀ aroundĀ 4 hours. They were all sitting in a pile for several years before I stripped them.Ā  I tried stripping one fresh cut cedar and gave up after an hour. They are sitting out in the sun till the spring when I will try again.

    Got my email they shipped my new XBox Series X today. Now just need to snag me a PS5 when they start selling again.

    Greedy fucker šŸ˜†Ā 

    I will get a ps5 after Christmas I assume. I have tried everytime it comes up but I keep missing the boat.

  8. I live with trumpkinĀ inlaws that see fox news as too liberal. I go out of my way to avoid political talk. They don't, but I have always steered the convo away successfully. They are poors and I have spent countless dollars and time helping them. I rebuilt the facia/soffit and some framing on their house, bought them a new stove, tv, couch and let them hunt on my land for free. They still beat the drum on lazy people not taking care of themselves. Everything that has brought them to this point is the fault of the democrats. It is depressing but I don't have to deal with it more than I want to. It is like a wildlife study to me, I spend the time and energy the other kids of that family won't (they are all trumpkons) jist for the social study. It is an odd affliction being afraid of people they haven't seen for decades (minorities) and taking handouts from others while preaching their rhetoric to everyone.Ā

  9. I am wondering how people get to a quartered deer. I used to field dress then skin and hang or throw it in the cooler to hang. I have gone to a new method on my place. Due to the fact I can have the deer fully quartered in 30 min or less assuming a clean kill, I don't gut in the field anymore. I take it back to camp asap, hang by the hind legs and have it quartered out in 10 min or less. I get all the meat off the deer I can before dumping the guts out of the rib cage and either keeping the rib meat if possible or just dumping it if I didn't shoot it in the heart. I love not messing with anything internal till the last step so I can ensure clean meat. I do everything I can to protect the hams from blood and anything else to cause issues. I have seen the drive to the processor with an ungutted deer but that is just crazy to me.

    What say the surl?

    Anyone still process their own deer or take it to be processed?Ā  I tend to do both, but more and more doing much of it myself.Ā  Need a grinder/stuffer for sausage, then I think I will do the entire thing myself, nose to tail.Ā Ā 

    I have never taken a deer to a processor. I process everything the same for each deer. One will be left in large cuts, next one/two I grind into chili and make sausage with some. I know 100% how the meat was treated from field to table and I don't get the half-assed trimming the processors do. Some are much better than others but I prefer the extra work for the piece of mind.
